Quandary: Is it ok to wear a hair band on your wrist? My friend told me she thinks it's gross because it's been in my hair but I don't see anything wrong with it.



Solution: "Wrists were meant to be hair-tie holders!" jokes Post, who sees absolutely nothing wrong with wearing one in all but first-date or serious workplace settings. As for your follicle-phobic friend, "You can thank her for her opinion and change the subject."

Next: How to handle your modesty in a spa setting

See Next Page: Quandary: When we go to the spa, my friends all parade around naked and hop into the Jacuzzi in their birthday suits. This makes me totally uncomfortable as I'm more modest and always wear my swimsuit. What's spa protocol for this?

@ JustIris30...just to let you know that your friend is horribly wrong,one of the first and essential things to know about applying any perfume is NEVER to rub the place where the perfume was spritzed on! Never ever because it destroys the molecules of the perfume itself and it will not be the same smell nor intensity it should and could be! That is a complete no-no! Inform yourself and your friend!
